Eaton and Siemens Energy Join Forces to Provide Power and Technology to Accelerate the Delivery of New Data Center Capacity
Article content Integrated modular data center construction will bring capacity online at speed to meet growing global demand for AI and cloud computing Standardized on-site power generation is key to accelerate the development of new data centers Article content Article content DUBLIN & BERLIN — Intelligent power management company Eaton, and Siemens Energy, one of the world's leading energy technology companies, have announced a fast-track approach to building data centers with integrated onsite power. They will address urgent market needs by offering reliable grid-independent energy supplies and standardized modular systems to facilitate swift data center construction and deployment. Article content Eaton and Siemens Energy join forces to provide power and technology to accelerate the delivery of new data center capacity. Article content The collaboration will enable simultaneous construction of data centers and associated on-site power generation with grid connection and the integration of renewables to meet regional regulatory requirements, if required. This will provide data center owners and developers with choices they don't have at present to enable them to build and run new data centers. Article content Siemens Energy's modular and scalable power plant concept is tailored to the specific needs of data center operators. The standard configuration generates 500 megawatts (MW) of electricity, featuring highly efficient SGT-800 gas turbines, redundancy and additional battery storage systems, ensuring the highest reliability. Based on its modular approach, the size of the plant can be scaled up and down. In the future, it can also operate in a carbon-neutral manner, provided hydrogen is available and part of the data center's sustainability strategy. The Siemens Energy concept also includes an optional emission-free clean air grid connection to be installed either during construction or as a retrofit. This feature would enable data centers to provide grid services. Article content Eaton will provide customers with electrical equipment such as medium voltage switchgear, low voltage switchgear, UPS, busways, structural support, racks and containment systems, engineering services and the software offerings needed to protect and enable IT loads from the medium-voltage grid to the chip and help accelerate building and commissioning data centers with skidded and modular designs. Article content Cyrille Brisson, global segment leader, Data Centers, Eaton, said: 'Our approach of letting customers pick the right balance of energy sources is very flexible and construction to start-up time is swift with options to reduce emissions in both the short and long term. Crucially, our approach offers data center owners and developers the opportunity to build capacity and bring it online fast in any location where they have land available that is close to gas, water and fiber.' Article content Andreas Pistauer, global head of sales, Siemens Energy's Gas Services Business Area, said: 'We offer hyperscalers, co-locators and investors a unique package, enabling them to reduce the time-to-market by up to two years in many places which leads to significant revenue gains. Our power plant design is built with redundancy, eliminating the need for backup diesel generators, and reducing CO 2 emissions by about 50 percent.'

TI and NVIDIA Partner to Power the Future of AI Data Centers
This innovation could transform how data centers are built and maintained, making it easier to meet the high energy demands of AI systems without increasing the physical footprint or complexity of the infrastructure. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. In an exciting move for the tech world, Texas Instruments (TI) has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to develop advanced power management and sensing technologies for 800V high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power systems. This next-generation power architecture is designed to support the growing demands of AI data centers, which are rapidly expanding in both size and complexity. As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, the amount of electricity needed to run a single data center rack is expected to grow from 100kW today to over 1MW in the near future. This presents a major challenge. Traditional 48V systems simply can't keep up—they would need nearly 450 pounds of copper just to deliver 1MW to a rack, making the setup bulky and unsustainable. That's where TI and NVIDIA come in. Their new 800V HVDC system promises to deliver power more efficiently, compactly, and scalably. This innovation could transform how data centers are built and maintained, making it easier to meet the high energy demands of AI systems without increasing the physical footprint or complexity of the infrastructure. "A paradigm shift is happening right in front of our eyes," said Jeffrey Morroni, TI Fellow and director of power management R&D at Kilby Labs. "AI data centers are pushing power limits to levels we never imagined. TI's expertise in power conversion, combined with NVIDIA's AI leadership, is helping make 800V systems a reality." Gabriele Gorla, VP of System Engineering at NVIDIA, added, "Semiconductor power systems are crucial to building high-performance AI infrastructure. By working with TI, we're creating an architecture that can support the next generation of large-scale AI data centers with greater efficiency." This partnership is a significant step forward in enabling the future of AI computing—where performance, power, and practicality must go hand in hand.

Vertiv accelerates AI infrastructure evolution in alignment with NVIDIA 800 VDC power architecture announcement
Dubai, UAE – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure, today confirmed its strategic alignment with NVIDIA's announcement of an AI roadmap to deploy 800 VDC power architectures for the next generation of AI-centric data centers. Paving the way for future-ready designs, Vertiv's 800 VDC power portfolio is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026 — ahead of NVIDIA Kyber and NVIDIA Rubin Ultra platform rollouts. Vertiv aligns with the NVIDIA AI roadmap to stay one GPU generation ahead, enabling customers to deploy their power and cooling infrastructure in sync with NVIDIA's next-generation compute platforms. Vertiv provides end-to-end power, cooling, integrated infrastructure and services to support AI factories and other data center deployments. As rack power requirements in AI environments scale beyond 300 kilowatts, 800 VDC enables more efficient, centralized power delivery by reducing copper usage, current, and thermal losses. Vertiv's upcoming portfolio will feature centralized rectifiers, high-efficiency DC busways, rack-level DC-DC converters, and DC-compatible backup systems, expanding its broad, end-to-end power management portfolio that already includes a robust AC power train. 'As GPUs evolve to support increasingly complex AI applications at giga-watt scale, power and cooling providers need to be equally innovative to provide energy-efficient and high-density solutions for the AI factories. While the 800 VDC portfolio is new, DC power isn't a new direction for us, it's a continuation of what we've already done at scale,' said Scott Armul, executive vice president of global portfolio and business units at Vertiv. 'We've spent decades deploying higher-voltage DC architectures across global telecom, industrial, and data center applications. We're entering this transition from a position of strength and bringing real-world experience to meet the demands of the AI factory.' Vertiv's experience in DC power spans more than two decades of ±400 VDC deployments, broadened by strategic acquisitions during the early 2000's. These solutions support critical loads in global telecom networks, integrated microgrids, and mission-critical facilities. This foundation establishes Vertiv as a trusted leader in the safe design, deployment, and operation of higher-voltage DC architectures, with proven scale, portfolio, and long-term serviceability. Designed for homogeneous AI zones in hyperscale environments, Vertiv's 800 VDC portfolio is a key pillar of its 'unit of compute' strategy — a systems-level design engineered to enable all infrastructure components — to interoperate as one modular and scalable system, matching infrastructure demands of next-generation GPUs. Vertiv's support for both AC and DC architectures is a strategic differentiator in the evolving AI data center landscape.
